He was a New York Democrat for decades. He's lived a largely secular existence that included marriages to models and lots of womanizing. Now you want me to believe that he's a theocratic fascist intent on enforcing strict traditional gender roles. No. I'll take him at his word. He got into it with DeSantis about Florida's abortion restrictions, he's talked about codifying Roe, and he's campaigning on requiring insurance companies to cover IVF (which treads the same moral ground as abortion). Why would I believe you, internet stranger, and not what I see and hear? |
What steps are those? |
Why do you believe anything out of that guy when he lies all the time? |
All Trump cares about is power. It's that simple. I don't believe for a second he himself is morally opposed to abortion, but he knows that pandering to the evangelical pro-life crowd gets him votes. So he ran on those principles in 2016, and appointed justices to get the job done (and then bragged about it). And now, oops, found out it's wildly unpopular except with that small subset of people so it's changing his tune. Why do you believe anything he says? |
Why? SCOTUS will justifiably shut down any “codified national abortion law” as federal overreach and therefore unconstitutional. That was the entire point of the overturn. It’s a state matter. You’re wasting your time. |
SCOTUS did no such thing. They didn’t “send it back to the states” like Trump and other liars keep telling you. They left the issue up to “the people and their representatives” which includes Congress. |
Yes, he'd sell his wife for power. Haven't you looked around at the happy GOP tent you're under and seen the corners where the those who are anti abortion reside. They'll want something sooner or later. But since you brought up morality, I'm pretty sure you are one of them and know it’s in your best interests to tow the party line. |
+1000 which means congress has the authority to pass new bills and at that point codification is possible! One step at a time. Let's go congress. Then we can talk codification. |
Trump has as much chance of winning this election as he has of winning Michigan. It's unlikely, but possible.
Despite what the very partisan and biased junk polls like Trafalgar want to make you think, Trump is not gaining and is not leading. Harris is holding steady and slightly ahead, but within the margin of error. The fake polls that are out there are laying the groundwork for what Trump does best, lie and cheat. His internal polling shows that he is losing and he is seeding the media so that he can claim the election was stolen (it wasn't, he's just a terrible candidate) and give him what he believes are plausible reasons to do what he did in 2020, which is try to steal the election himself. He will fail just like he did in 2020. 62 court cases and people like Kemp and Raffensperger will continue to tell the truth, that he lost and that he doesn't have any grounds to contend that he won. |
Trump will also be too exhausted to put up as much of a performance as he did in 2020. He’s lost a step. |
I'd love to believe you, but facts from today say otherwise. There has been a slight uptick in Trump support in swing states. Nate Silver has a piece about it, and the NYT and 538 have registered the same effects. These are credible sources, PP. Everything is still within the margin of error... but the trend is not in Harris' favor. |
I have to question Nate Silver's bias and objectivity given he's now also drawing a paycheck from Peter Thiel (JD Vance's mentor and puppet master) and Polymarket. |
DP. Yes they did. Read the tenth amendment. Gawd I hate debating the clueless. |
Read the decision. |
I’m in Michigan right now. Whitmer doesn’t reflect the voters. All the state’s billionaires are behind her, so the Lansing duopoly agreed to let her win in 2022. She basically ran unopposed. GOP’s candidate was a tomato can bimbo basically paid to take a fall. There is also zero right of center media outlet in the entire state, so crap like this Detroit smear will go “viral” statewide but it’s fake. Nobody is really bothered by this. Everyone knows Detroit is a dangerous dump. Everyone raised in Detroit wishes they could move away — including Lizzo who moved to California. And his supporters know this is out of context, like everything is. |
